THE HINDmAN,s YERRx LEvEE
AND nkIDGE.

Prompted by the statement Of Justice
Coleman, for whom We have a very
high respect, a reporter Of the APPEAL
went out yesterday TO Hindman's
Ferry aud surveyed the site OF
the proposed levee and bridge,
and his conclusion, elsewhere
given, is that IL is not necessary,
and If it was, it would take at lesst
$50. 600 to make levee road that
would at all answer the purpose OF a
highway at all stages of water. With
all due respect, therefore, for the peii.
TONERS, whose request induced Mr..
Coleman to change his mind and vote
for this levee and bridge, we must still
insist that, as wholly unnecessary
work, 1t ought not be permitted,
and the court should, on Mon
day, rescind It's order aud recall
lie contract II any has besn
entered into. II the land owners on
the other side Of Wolf river want to
increase their lands from sl5 or s25 to
500 or 5000 per acre by bridge OF
leves they can doubtless do so by
building both themselves with the
permission OF the court and aocedin9
to lie specification and plans. The
-ArPBAL is for Improvements as fast az
they can be made, but they must no,
be attempted unless they are neces
Sary and until the money is in hand
to pay for them. The new bridge and
levee at Hindman's Ferry should moi
be constructed yet awhile, II ever.

Gent general bookkeeper in the Audi

the Governor and most of the State
officers and the whole force in the
Auditors Office. The parlor was beau
tifully and elabora'ely decorated with
choice flowers for the occasion. Miss
Marion is greatly beloved by all here.
The State House folks are loath to give
her up. She was the recipient OF nu-
merous han dsome presents, her former
co-laborers in the Auditors Office CIV

They left at once for their home in
Monticello.

PROHIBITION In SCOTLAND.

Tbs city OF Glasgow, Scotland, is
famous for the number OF licensed
liquor dea'e rs within its limits and the
quantity Of whi,ky, especially, con-
sumed. II Is, therefore, the last place
in the world where one would expect
to find anything approaching prohibit
ton. But euch is the case. A pie
biscite with reference to the sale and
control OF Intoxicating liquors was
taken there recently, and 67,7N per-
sons expressed themselves in favor OF
all licenses for the common sale OF
drink being abolished; 19,4ll were OPP
posed to such q proposal, and 55b6
were neutral; 77,246 approved OF the
people having the entire control OF the
liquor traffic by their votes; $685. dis
approved, and 4124 were neutral. Large
majorities, in answer to further
queries submitted, we're in favor
Of the present number Of public
houses being reduced, and Of
no new licenses being granted. Intern
perate people have no confidence in
themselves. They have no morale to
bank upon and desire as a positive
safeguard against their own weak
nesSes to erect barrier Of law thai
shall put all kinds Of liquor beyond
their reach. One extreme always be
gets another, and for the extremist
there Is no middle ground. Measuring
the corn OF others by his bushel, HI
would put the severest restraints
upon the temperate man as upor
himself, and prohibit the liquor traffic
| altogether.
